Product Description
Product Description
This groundbreaking critical anthology gathers together a wide range of primary source material on lesbian lives in the past. The material here is drawn from a diverse range of sources, including court records, newspaper reports, literary sources, writings on lesbianism from psychologists, doctors, anthropologists, as well as personal letters and journals.
The sources are arranged into thematic chapters, covering topics such as archetypes of lesbians - cross-dressing women and romantic friends, the making of lesbianism in culture, professional discourse on lesbians, public perceptions of lesbianism and women's own experiences.
This book will be a milestone in the publishing of lesbian history, and is set to provoke the impetus for fresh research.

Great Information, good resource.
3 April 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a really interesting book and I enjoyed reading it. As someone working in this field I am familiar with other work like this but there is simply not enough of it. I was happy to discover this fascinating book about the history of lesbians in England. I would love the authors to write one from 1970 to the present. Angela Brinskele Director of Communications, The Mazer Lesbian Archives
